Black Smoke Rising Comments

I don't why most of your postings are as old as mine...but.. like me you need to post more--for my sake. Work it out! Hope to see some more of your work soon.

I like the way you let the powerful phrase 'Black Smoke Rising' coming back in every stanza. It gives the poem that blue feeling that goes to the heart

hey i read this and for being new this is amazing! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ♥ §♥

What they call a 'dark poem', I believe. The reiteration of the reference to black smoke holds it all together very well.

very nice. Abstract but accessible,

This is a very well structured poem with its 'black dog' theme and it's melancholy tone. Your images are arresting and fresh as sunlight. I look forward to reading more of your work. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I cried reading this poem... The black smoke is like an unwanted being, ('oozing through shuttered windows, ' love that part) stealing any trace of joy or hope.10++
